...The plan will provide an intervention that uses texts and key vocabulary aligned with texts and subject matter taught in those grade levels (curriculum-based language assessment and intervention). The treatment protocol focuses on four areas: word study, vocabulary in content-area text, comprehension of content-area text, and engagement (Vaughn, Sharon, 2015). It was gathered from the case history that Kathy does not like to be pulled out from class. The RTI will then focus on providing the teachers with the utmost comprehensive instructions and strategies to facilitate learning in the classroom. For this reading intervention approach the research staff hired, trained, and supported reading intervention teachers. All interventionists were certified teachers with experience teaching students with disabilities or struggling readers. They all participated in a weeklong professional development program prior to implementing the interventions. Effective intervention was modeled, and participants had opportunities to practice and receive constructive feedback on the match between their practice...

...Executive Summary: Right to information refers to people’s right to have all the necessary information regarding the political, legal and similar areas which is directly correlated to their daily lives. In Bangladesh, though people have very limited or no information at all due to lack of willingness and ability to obtain the necessary information’s. Thus the general people should look forward how this bridge can be closed between themselves and the government officials to obtain the necessary and rightful information. The technology is advancing day by day throughout the world. Thus obtaining information has become much easier and flexible. Not only the general people but it is also the responsibility of those who are the holders of that information. They are also equally responsible for passing those to the general people with full efficiency and accuracy. Sadly due to the negligence of both parties this information flow is reduced compared to the early days since the nation’s independence in 1971. Lots of problem is faced by the nation’s citizens specially the people who belong to the rural areas. Due to unaware of their own right, thousands of people had faced difficulties on both professional and personal context. Our focus is on the factors of this decreased information flow as well as the initiatives to be taken which can reduce this massive problem in our country.

Executive summary This report was to research whether we should legalize the sale of human organs. It examined the cases about organ sales all over the world. The major methodology is case study of quality research. The main findings were that situation of organ translation and sales in entire world. It was concluded that legalize the sales of human organs can not make more people get rescue and the sale of human organs is a kind of crime. The recommendations are that organ sales should be banned and society needs a law to control the black market. 2. Introduction Here is the report concerning about whether we should legalize the sale of human organs. People has discussed about it for a long time. According to public reports, China has become the world's second largest organ transplantation country. In China, There are about ten thousand cases of transplant operation each year. Besides, millions of patients are waiting for organ transplants. Under the serious imbalance of organ supply, some patients tend to buy organs through black market. It resulted in the formation of underground organ trading chain. My assumption in this report is organ sales can not be legalized.

...the course curriculum, the second year MBA students are required to undertake a study on macro analysis of a particular industry and thereby, prepare a project report on the chosen industry. The objective behind preparing this project report is to relate the management subjects taught in the classroom to their practical application and to get insight into practical situation. Petroleum Industry is considered to be the back bone of an economy because this is the main source of energy till date. Any economy around the world would fail to advance a single step in the absence of Petroleum Industry. The Petroleum Industry is divided into two segments namely Upstream Sector consisting of Exploration and Production of crude oil while the Downstream Sector consists of Refining, Processing, Storing, Marketing and Distribution of petroleum products. The most important part of the Petroleum Industry is the Petroleum Refining Industry which refines the crude oil to convert it to the usable fuel. It also derives many derivative products out of the crude petroleum like natural gas, naphtha, etc which can be used in various ways. Hence, for these reasons, we have chosen the Downstream Sector of the Indian Petroleum Industry for our Macro Analysis project. As this is a Macro Analysis project, we have concentrated on the Indian Petroleum Industry and that too focusing on the Downstream Sector for our study and not gone into the in depth analysis of the various players and their functioning...

...Summary. Various anthropometric studies have been conducted in the last decade in order to investigate how different physiological or behavioral human characteristics can be used as identity evidence to prove the individuality of each person. Some of these characteristics are: face, eyes, ears, teeth, fingers, hands, feet, veins, voice, signature, typing style and gait. Since the first biometric security systems appeared in the market, an increasing demand for novel techniques that will cover all different scenarios, has been observed. Every new method appears to outmatch some of its competitors but, at the same time, presents disadvantages compared to others. However, there is still no method that consists a single panacea to all different scenarios and demands for security. This is the reason for which researchers are on a continuous effort for more efficient and generic biometric modalities that can be used in various applications. In this chapter, emerging biometric modalities that appeared in the last years in order to improve the performance of biometric recognition systems, are presented. The presented methods are divided in two major categories, intrusive and non-intrusive ones, according to the level of user nuisance that each system sets off. 1 Introduction Biometric recognition is a well-known research area that aims to provide more efficient solutions to everyday growing human need for security. Biometrics refers to methods that can be used for uniquely recognizing...

...Chapter 4 Building Competitive Advantage Page 57 4 Building Competitive Advantage Enterprise in Ireland over the next decade will operate in a global competitive environment that will be considerably more challenging than in the past. The strengths and experience that we have built up will continue to contribute to the success of enterprise, but companies in Ireland will have to differentiate themselves from their competitors in new ways in order to create sustainable competitive advantage. In the past, Ireland has set a standard for change and growth that is admired around the world and we can continue to do so. The biggest barrier to this is complacency: there is a real danger that enterprise in Ireland will be overtaken by more agile competitors in other countries. Overcoming this complacency and taking decisive action requires a renewed sense of national cohesion, with a commitment to execution throughout the entire enterprise community and the support systems. As outlined in Chapter 3, in the years ahead, our ability to build sustainable enterprise in Ireland will depend critically on a unique combination of: Knowledge of customers and market needs The ability to develop new products and services to satisfy those needs A world-class education and training system that is responsive and flexible and that supplies the skills required by the changing needs of enterprise A competitive taxation regime An effective, agile government system. The first two of these...
